Mart Price Tracker

TITANIUM.

Was at the mart myself last week. The exporters were around alright. Lads looking for facy cattle and willing to pay for them.
The exporters are also buyin up heifers for breeding in Turkey. They seemed to favour nice red lm heifers for this.
Good cattle are still making enough money. Tis good to see for a change

As a friend of mine commented the trade at the moment has neither the seller or the buyer happy. Sellers aren't getting a viable price but yet everything is too deer for a finisher to get a turn at the bad beef price and potentially worse coming.

Was bringing some older cattle to the mart last week and decided to bring along the black lm in the pic for the craic in case there were and shippers about.
The pic of him isn't great but he was a smashing calf for 7 and half months.
Came into €1040.

All seem right enough but it's hard to see a big margin in them. The last si must have more cross in him than si, cause it's a fairly good price, for a si.

Cattle I seen last week or two but can only watch as I need something with a twist..
420 kg goodish but perhaps too well done whitehead yearlings €915.
2 year old lads 540 kg €1140.

So mart slightly ahead of factory atm for not quiet done stock?

Cavanjack

No sense to the mart trade at the minute IMO. 500kg continental stores making €1250 easy. With beef price only going one way it is madness.

The yearlings would only do maybe a butcher., but the aul lad that bought them will have them till October 12 months.. They are are going to melt like butter in sun.
The two year old lads were good stores but 1300 at best will catch them in September. Not much good qaulity continental cattle about here but you would be lucky to get a good 500 kg store at 1250.

Would prices be a shake cheaper now rather a months to six weeks time when lads are buying to put stock to grass ?
Have a share of extra bales and not sure whether to keep them til next year or buy stock now to eat them before going to grass.

The factory kill is increasing now so you'd imagine the beef price should start falling (but who knows and I hope not). This would impact the mart trade. Also the country is supposed to be full of cattle so maybe when the grass cattle hit the marts they'll be a flood of them.
Like you I've loads of silage but I'd rather look at it than look at cattle bought too dear eating it.
I will hang on for a few weeks and see how things go. Sure they can't get any dearer!!!!!!!
